AJ Boydston promoted to Associate Professor with Tenure

The Department of Chemistry congratulates Assistant Professor AJ Boydston on his promotion to associate professor with tenure, effective September 16, 2016.

Research in the Boydston group focuses on various aspects of macromolecular design, synthesis, and function. By controlling the microstructures of polymer and network materials, the Boydston group is discovering ways in which macroscopic mechanical forces can be used to guide precise, molecular-level chemical transformations. Materials that display this mechanochemical transduction capability may find application in numerous fields, including biomedical engineering, drug delivery, additive manufacturing (3D printing), and autonomously self-healing systems.
